Where in the F*** is Queen? Just to let you all know, I have her old address and know she only moved up the street or somewhere close by when she got the new place with her roomie, so she's most def in the same town. Also, I know her last name, I have her Yahoo Messenger ID, her personal email address AND her cell number.

I have used this info to check on her and don't know what else to do. I am calling her directly right now, which I have never done because of her hearing loss.......

Shit. The cell phone rang about eight times and then went to a busy signal. No voice mail, no nothing. Why in the hell would she have both services cut off at once?

Actually, it does make me feel a little better that her cell seems to be "cut-off." Maybe there WAS a snafu with a bill, and maybe the internet connection is through the same service as her cell? Is that even possible?

Yes, moonlight, internet service and cell service can be under one account. Someone is just gonna have to ring her doorbell ......I considered it could be a little trouble cuz of da green. It's frustrating, isn't it. MIA for way too long.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

Does anyone know her roommate's name? Or son? Might be possible to get another phone number that way...

She started as thread months ago about looking for another city to move to. She spoke of a college her son was interested in one of her posts. She may have mentioned his name there. Have the best dayMichael

Okay, today is the day. We must figure out how in the world to contact Queen. Certainly we can come up with something. Does the administration have contact info they could use? Is it time to contact the authorities? I'm really worried.

We don't have anything other than an email address. Still no reply to the emails.

I've been snooping around since last night, now going public. She's not in the county lockup, she's not been seen by the coroner's office and there's been no missing person report filed on her with the city police. I didn't think to ask if there was any record of her, not just a missing person report, but I left my cell phone at home and I'm pushing it using my office phone for long distance.

I agree with you on that one. I felt MUCH better last night after I discovered her cell wasn't working -- it led me to believe what you had just stated. Still, if people want to help check, then there's no harm in that.

It's always good to keep a track of the ones we hold dear, because you just never know. I can tell you that one or two occasions, having made contact with a member who is unusually absent has proven to have been a lifesaver for them.

I agree with Matty on this. Queen has had some financial bumps in the past. To me, that may well be the cause of her temporary absence. Barring some other unlikely drastic happening to her, she is also wise and connected enough to have someone write in here for her if there was a big health problem going on.

As has been suggested, when $ comes in at the front of the month I expect we will hear from her sassy self again and she'll appreciate that her absence has been given queenly respect. Keep the throne dusted and waiting, please.

Now Queen, you have to prove Matty, Moonlight and I are right on this one.

" Jeez guys can't a Queen take a friggin break without y'all jumping all over my booty"....ok, so I'm lousy at street talk but you get my drift.

She's a sassy Queen alright Andy, but I know she will appreciate that her subjects are concerned about her and we will hopefully hear from her next week...your little corner of the world is waiting for you Queenie so I hope you get the chance to check in soon.

LMAO@some of the posts I have seen. I am very touched by everyone's concern for me. For the record, nothing was shut off, phone or internet. I know I am ghetto fabulous but I have been paying the damn bills, ok... ...I see there has been 2 threads done on my whereabouts and I still have to jump over to the ladies and chat with them. I am very moved by that. Cindy, you must've missed the hospital I was at, we only have 3 here. I checked myself into one of them 2 days after my bday for depression because things were really getting to me. I never did receive any mail from Em, though she had my addy but it wouldn't have done any good because I wouldn't have seen it til I got home anyways. Maybe it got lost in the mail, I dunno. I appreciate it anyways, Em. Not sure why you didn't get my vm when you called my phone, Cindy. I still have the same number, I guess that's what I get for dealing with the ghetto cell phone company...Sheesh...

Philly, leave it up to you to guess when I would be back on. Yep, check day makes the world go around... I am tired as shit though. And since I have not been on in a bit, I am trying to catch up on everything and with everyone. OMG, you should've seen my instant messages. So, if you have sent me PMs, please give me a moment to respond. The same goes with my blog, I will be working on it over the weekend to give details on what went down with me.

Uh? What roses? Does that mean I am going to be sent 2 dozen roses from you?

ROFL, You aren't going anywhere. So no, the roses won't be coming. What would you want roses for anyway if you can't see them or smell them? You can't take them with you and they would surely wilt where you would be going.

Bryonut and Sac, Thanks for the warm welcome back, it is much appreciated. Now on to Roddles and glaring holes through him.... What? I am not worth 2 dozen roses? And actually I would have plenty of uses for them... And don't ask how either. Hmm, and where I am going they would wilt? That's a matter of belief sweetie and Her Majesty doesn't believe in hell. But I don't mind you trying to prove me wrong, take the trip and if there is such a place, send me a postcard. I'll come visit.....

Don't be sending no burnt roses but then again if it is coming from you, it may anything but burnt roses. I wouldn't mind some black roses though. And I know a certain pup who if he keeps it up will be roasted like a hot dog....

Queen and Her Green, Back on the Scene!! OMG!!!!!!!!!! Thank the Goddess you are alive, GF! I JUST got back from group and missed you by 20 minutes!

Don't you ever leave the house again wiithout telling someone where you are going....ever! You almost gave me heart failure! LOL

Girl, you better not drop from heart failure cause I sure as hell don't know CPR.... But I will make it a point of giving you my info so you can contact me or find out the 411 should anything happen again. It seems that you and another are quite the detective. But then I just thought about it, both of you had my previous address, duh but no one has the current. I thought Em did. Maybe she lost it or something. No matter, I am back now. Thanks for the love and the search...
